Accordion Flowers and Vacation!

Here's a birthday card I made inspired by the create: blog challenge for Accordion Paper Flowers.  I actually find that these rosette's are not that easy to make.  You need good quick drying glue and patience (of which I have little).  But, I love the look.  I tried putting glitter on the edges to give them a bit of sparkle.  In hindsight, I would have border punched the red strip in the background as well.  I gave my leaves some dimension putting using pop-up dots. The happy birthday sentiment was cut on my Cricut with Gypsy Font.

We're off to the cabin for the week!  I'm looking forward to getting away.  I'm not bringing any scrapbooking supplies because there's just not room, but definitely am bringing my Scrapbooks Etc. magazines.  I hope to take many pictures to scrap later and will be back to card making in a week!

I hope everyone has a fun and safe Fourth of July weekend!
